it's all my fault
I whispered to myself
as I pulled the crying, beaten up body up with me
it's all my fault
I whispered to myself
as I screamed at the figure before me
it's all my fault
I whispered to myself
as a petite figure wrapped itself around me
it's all my fault
I whispered to myself
as I slid down the bathroom wall, silence engulfing me
it's all my fault
I whispered to myself
as I typed these words, failing to explain to guilt burning inside me
it's all my fault*
and it will always be my fault.
